1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,259
10 years ago lenovo's yoga brand invented the very first convertible

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:13,380
laptop and now to celebrate that they have created this right here the very

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,780
first Lenovo Yoga that

4
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:22,380
isn't a convertible uh yeah this is the new Lenovo Yoga pro

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:26,760
pro is very important Pro 9i which is no longer convertible but also heck and

6
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:33,239
Powerful let's check it out and huge thanks to Lenovo for sponsoring this oh

7
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:38,760
before we get started we need to clear up some confusion that is entirely

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:45,059
lenovo's fault this right here in all of the world is Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i except

9
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:50,579
for North America whereas the Lenovo slim Pro 9i which is different than

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:54,840
Lenovo Yoga Slim totally different laptops anyway we've

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,840
got two of them though this right here is the 14 inch and let's see what it has

12
00:00:56,820 --> 00:00:59,840
for a charger

13
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:06,540
here we have a 140 watt charger which is

14
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:09,479
being delivered over USB type c love to

15
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:13,140
see it man over 100 Watts type c they're actually doing it and this right here is

16
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:19,680
a very small brick this has to be gallium nitride also here

17
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:22,320
we have the 16 inch knot yoga in North

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,759
America Pro 9i is there anything else in here

19
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,360
presumably if you get a actual production version

20
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:44,640
for the 16 inch we have 170 Watts but it

21
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,140
is not delivered over USB type scene the color that we have here is tidal teal

22
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,000
and I do have to say it looks pretty darn good around the side we have a full

23
00:01:51,299 --> 00:02:01,380
size SD card reader excellent start guys two Thunderbolt 4S HDMI 2.1 aha fact

24
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:04,020
Checkers say HDMI 2.1 we also have two

25
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:09,060
full-size USB type A's headphone microphone combo Jack a little webcam

26
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,280
turn off switch can you see that there and also the power button is on the side

27
00:02:11,099 --> 00:02:16,200
right here so normally when you have a

28
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,400
small device and a big device you kind of just repurpose the motherboard for

29
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:26,520
both of them now we'll have to take these apart later and figure out what exactly is on the go but I can tell you

30
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:33,500
for sure it's totally different on this looking at the i o so on this side we

31
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:36,540
have our power input USB type a HDMI 2.1

32
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:38,459
Thunderbolt 4 and a headphone microphone

33
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:42,900
combo Jack then around on the other side we have

34
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:46,980
our full size SD card reader and another USB type A normally you'd expect them to

35
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:51,120
be you know pretty much the same between the models but here it is just entirely

36
00:02:49,379 --> 00:02:54,260
different I'm rather surprised

37
00:02:55,739 --> 00:03:01,260
let's have a look here this feels very good

38
00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:05,099
okay let's get rid of the mouse map you can get this mousepad at lttstore.com

39
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,340
also this water bottle the chassis is made out of CNC machined

40
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,940
aluminum and it feels like that this is

41
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:19,640
an excellent feeling laptop and there's no real soft spots 16 the same okay

42
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:25,920
16's a tiny bit softer than the 14 but

43
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:32,840
that makes sense it's a much larger laptop also has a larger trackpad

44
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:32,840
geez they're spoiling us look at this

45
00:03:34,019 --> 00:03:39,360
most of the time when you have two laptops that are in the same family they

46
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:43,500
just sort of cheap out and so they'll make a really nice track pad for like

47
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:47,280
the 14 15 inch version and then the 17 or a larger inch version just kind of

48
00:03:45,780 --> 00:03:51,360
gets the exact same track back here though for the 16 inch they have a

49
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:55,440
bespoke actually very large size trackpad and I really appreciate that

50
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,220
also a numpad alright let's have a look at what we're dealing with for specs

51
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,000
here I know for sure that it's an Intel processor because the eye part of the 9i

52
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:12,000
means Intel here we have an I9 13905h oh dang this this is a powerful

53
00:04:08,459 --> 00:04:14,640
boy so 14 cores total six performance

54
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,400
cores eight efficiency cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4 gigahertz we'll

55
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:25,740
see how she does in a chassis like this I imagine that the 115 watt maximum

56
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:31,320
Turbo Power will not be achieved in this machine which is okay here we also have

57
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:37,800
64 gigabytes of RAM although it won't tell me what the speed is a micron one

58
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:40,080
terabyte SSD Intel Wi-Fi 6E love to see

59
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:47,940
that and the star of the show and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 so this right here is

60
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:50,340
up to 80 Watts on the GPU which again

61
00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:55,139
laptop this big pretty darn impressive on the 16 the

62
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:59,699
specs are exactly the same the only difference is that that GPU is able to

63
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:05,520
draw up to 100 watts of power and the total system can draw up to 130. let's

64
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:10,680
have a little look at this keyboard so

65
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,900
there is a 0.3 millimeter dish in every

66
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,580
single key and they seem to be very happy about that also there is a

67
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:22,199
millimeter and a half of travel which should be

68
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,940
keyboard's excellent absolutely love it good job guys so the edge of the laptop

69
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,020
is round here this right here has enough Palm rest space that my hands can very

70
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,620
easily just rest on it and you don't have to worry about the kind of sharp

71
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:38,400
edge down here that's because I have the speakers along the sides whenever they

72
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,900
put it up on the top then keyboard moves down trackpad gets smaller my hands get

73
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:47,460
hurt by the sharp edge down here but nope keyboards up high trackpad's really

74
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,560
big and I am comfortable back to the rounded corners for a second

75
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,440
the only spot that's sharp is down here

76
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,039
on the palm rest it actually is nicely rounded like up here

77
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:02,220
where your hands don't go ever this is going to be hard to see because

78
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,520
it's just kind of playing hard to see let alone doing it with a camera and a

79
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:11,759
brightly lit set but this right here is a mini LED display and it is extremely

80
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:15,539
bright up to 1200 nits Peak brightness the problem though and you'll see this

81
00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:21,600
on Max as well is that there's a little bit of uh Bloom

82
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:27,120
around it you see around the mouse when it's on a very dark page with a black

83
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:32,220
background around it there's a little bit of a halo around bright objects that

84
00:06:30,419 --> 00:06:37,020
is just a limitation of the tech and something that OLED overcomes but then

85
00:06:34,979 --> 00:06:40,740
it's not nearly as bright as this now apparently this will be better on

86
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,759
production versions this right here is an engineering sample and they said that

87
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:48,960
it isn't tuned quite perfectly but I just want to point it out because even

88
00:06:46,259 --> 00:06:51,840
like it's a technology thing you can tune it as much as you want but at the

89
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:55,560
end of the day there's gonna be a tiny bit of Bloom but you get all that

90
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,940
brightness this is a fantastic looking display and has one of my favorite

91
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:04,680
features which is color space switching so say that you have Adobe open that

92
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:07,800
wants to have Adobe RGB and it will actually display that to you then when

93
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:10,520
you go over to your web browser you don't have to go in and be like oh I no

94
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:14,940
longer it'll just go straight to srgb so

95
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,479
everything that you're seeing is going to be color accurate no matter the

96
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,220
content and you don't have to worry about making sure all of that is good

97
00:07:20,819 --> 00:07:33,000
yourself love it love that feature the resolution is 30 72 by 1920 and the

98
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:35,160
active signal mode is 83 or 165 Hertz

99
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,660
and it can dynamically change between those depending on what's happening on

100
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:44,280
the display which is I was not expecting this to be 165 Hertz panel they very

101
00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,120
specifically tell us that we're not supposed to game on it too much in this

102
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:54,259
but uh I want a game of it this one here we have Dolby Vision heck

103
00:07:51,539 --> 00:08:00,240
yeah it's about 0.1 milliseconds response 0.2 millisecond response time

104
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:05,160
they put this on a Creator laptop and they tell us not to game on it what the

105
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:07,860
hell are they I'm opening valheim

106
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:14,940
it's a cottage creation app also screen specs 242 PPI display Peak brightness of

107
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:20,039
600 but also it gets up to 1200 and small bits and 10 bit color while we're

108
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:25,680
discussing screen specs or continuing to discuss them

109
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,020
the 16 inch model is 3200 by 2000 but

110
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:32,160
otherwise essentially identical to the 14 inch hmm

111
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:40,380
so we are screen recording at the moment so take this for what it is but we're

112
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:45,300
also currently getting 30 FPS wow this character is very weak

113
00:08:43,339 --> 00:08:48,620
it's Paul you didn't even get his name right

114
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:57,300
so here we are in valheim 1080P High

115
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:59,279
running at 60 to 70 FPS which is pretty

116
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:04,140
good not as good as I thought a 4070 would be but it's not a gaming laptop

117
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:08,160
it's a creative laptop okay maybe just needed a second but I am a lot happier

118
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:13,680
now so turned off the screen recording settings were a little bit higher for

119
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:16,320
honest and now I'm seeing 95 FPS that's

120
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,800
more in line with what I was expecting there we go Mr boy you're getting

121
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:26,700
punched in the face actually maybe I'm gonna die it's a very low level character

122
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,160
getting 95 FPS's

123
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:34,040
1080p though so that's kind of lame oh this is so sweet though look at this

124
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:38,940
look at this there's actually good response times on

125
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:43,019
a creative laptop it's so often that they have a laptop that's built that's

126
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:47,940
incredibly powerful and then the screen that they put on it has just loads of

127
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:52,980
input latency or stuff so even though it is a very gaming capable machine

128
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:58,800
actually gaming on it sucks terrible time this right here though oh

129
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:03,660
it's very good and I just want to remind you like having a high refresh rate

130
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:07,800
display doesn't only matter for gaming you are going to still have increased

131
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:13,220
responsiveness and the ability to do things way faster in I don't know Adobe

132
00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:18,779
crash simulator 2023 you'll be able to very quickly like

133
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:23,040
move everything around it's just more responsive in general even file manager

134
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:29,519
you can notice the difference I am slightly curious just how heavy is this

135
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,560
thing 3.7 pounds so that is incredibly

136
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:39,240
good for the amount of power that we just saw 16 inch comes in at

137
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,220
4.9 pounds so this right here it's

138
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:46,920
getting up there in weight but it hasn't quite cracked that five pound mark

139
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,980
let's give the 16 inch a run I'm still shocked that they made completely

140
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:56,339
separate track pads to use for both of them and on both laptops the trackpad is

141
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:59,279
exceptional so it's nice and large glass

142
00:10:56,339 --> 00:11:02,880
topped and it's just in general feels great to use you don't have to like

143
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:07,260
break it in or anything it's not sticky from the factory it is just out of the

144
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:11,579
box a great to use trackpad the keyboard on the 16 is worse it's not bad it still

145
00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:15,740
is good like it's the same key switches and they are excellent key switches but

146
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:21,360
there's just a tiny bit more Flex particularly sort of in this middle

147
00:11:18,839 --> 00:11:26,040
reddish area but it's not super noticeable

148
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:30,480
but it's enough to take this keyboard oh yeah right right there you can sort of

149
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:34,800
see it a bit of a bit of a soft spot and it's enough to take this keyboard from

150
00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:40,140
the A Plus like very easy a plus of the 14 inch and it's more like an A A minus

151
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,680
territory because it just doesn't quite have the consistency or the snappy feel

152
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,980
across the whole thing that said though some people absolutely

153
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:55,560
die for a numpad I personally take it or leave it but like Josh maybe loves

154
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:57,959
numpads I don't actually know but

155
00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:01,620
I'm guessing well 16 is about the same as the 14. um I don't know I don't even

156
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,700
say anything more speakers for the speakers I did have to turn their Dolby

157
00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:09,300
stuff off because it's pre-production apparently that doesn't quite work yet

158
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:14,220
that'll work when you guys actually get it I do love having Dolby but what also

159
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:17,040
is in here that I saw while I was turning that off they have a full-blown

160
00:12:15,959 --> 00:12:21,660
EQ love to see it guys so if this doesn't

161
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,279
sound quite like how I want it I could change it to make it so it is

162
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:34,399
so on the 14 inch we get four speakers and the 16 has six so let's see if that

163
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,290
makes a difference okay

164
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:50,339
okay that's pretty good but nothing like amazing won't blow you away won't make

165
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:54,060
you have to get a Bluetooth speaker every single time that you want to play

166
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:57,040
crab Brave okay

167
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:04,459
the 16 is a lot better okay here we go

168
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,040
all right way crispier way more bass it

169
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:14,839
does sound like there is some DRC when we got to the drop there but like

170
00:13:15,019 --> 00:13:23,760
not even in the same league oh

171
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:25,560
16 inch a plus for laptop speakers four

172
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:32,279
teens like B plus maybe somewhere around there not terrible fantastic oh for the

173
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:38,639
camera we get a five megapixel camera and four microphones to act as not only

174
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:43,560
getting my voice into the laptop but also getting their voices not into the

175
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:48,180
laptop pretty good apparently the tuning is

176
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:52,500
pre-production as is theme of this video but it's working pretty well it's not

177
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:56,820
doing anything dramatic but at the same time that's good it is very simply

178
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,660
exposing for my face everything looks kind of boring but in the sort of way

179
00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:03,839
where it's good because you want a laptop to just

180
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:08,399
simply make your face look good as a bonus around that there's also Windows

181
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:11,940
hello facial recognition so you don't have to do stuff like typing in your

182
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:18,120
password don't have to worry about that anymore great

183
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,920
five T5 screws later and we are in let's

184
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:24,899
have a look under here haha I found you now one thing that's

185
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:30,180
unfortunate about this laptop is that after it leaves the factory you cannot

186
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,100
upgrade the RAM but they at least have a

187
00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:36,360
decent reason for that so they have their X power which is you know your

188
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:41,040
regular software stuff it optimizes saying blah blah blah blah but also

189
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:46,440
there is Hardware behind it too so your RAM chips are right beside your CPU they

190
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:51,360
are pretty much as close as they can get which means signal path is a lot shorter

191
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:57,360
which means it goes faster in here we have 6400 Mega transfer per second RAM

192
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,740
which is freaking rapid now for the

193
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,620
storage you can replace it right here and we have a 75 watt hour battery let's

194
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:10,440
see how the 16 inch Compares it's pretty fun that all of the screws are also

195
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:11,519
tidal turquoise there we go color match

196
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:19,019
screws that's fancy yeah oh this 100 just woke up

197
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:22,500
oh yep hello do you guys think this is cooling we've

198
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:26,760
got a big old heat pipe right here and I don't particularly feel like taking all

199
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:31,079
of this off so CPU is there GPU is there is this all just memory cooling okay

200
00:15:29,339 --> 00:15:36,360
yeah that's all memory cooling must be the same as what's right here but just

201
00:15:32,579 --> 00:15:39,839
more chunk so in both of these you get a

202
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:42,480
75 watt hour bed for the 14 inch that is

203
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:47,279
awesome in a laptop of this size fitting 75 watt hours is darn impressive what's

204
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:51,680
not as impressive is cramming that into a uh 17 inch you can see there's sort of

205
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:55,800
space right here that's sort of underutilized and sort of space right

206
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:01,920
here that's not doing a whole lot and also some space right here that fortunately at least has a bit of

207
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:06,480
utility so we have our first SSD right here and then if you want a second one

208
00:16:04,019 --> 00:16:11,579
later you can Chuck it right there nice now of course this being a product aimed

209
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:16,320
at gen Z it means that it needs to be good for the environment as well and

210
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:21,300
this one right here does not let us down so this right here uses recycled

211
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:25,980
aluminum not entirely but most of it and of course the package materials are all

212
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:29,339
nice and good for the whales what does this do do I have a

213
00:16:28,199 --> 00:16:34,279
pre-production switch that people normally don't get mystery switch what's

214
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,279
the mystery switch do

215
00:16:37,259 --> 00:16:42,959
the mystery malware switch you'll definitely be getting rid of

216
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:49,860
McAfee but what you won't be getting rid of is Adobe Creative Cloud because every

217
00:16:45,899 --> 00:16:51,899
2023 Lenovo Yoga Pro comes with a

218
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:56,040
complimentary two month of Adobe Creative Cloud

219
00:16:53,699 --> 00:17:00,779
overall I think these are great it's a Creator laptop that has taken the stuff

220
00:16:58,259 --> 00:17:06,360
that everyone's learned in the past but like 10 or so years to make excellent

221
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,620
gaming laptops and apply those learnings towards a Creator laptop in a way that

222
00:17:08,579 --> 00:17:14,880
just makes it better for everyone excellent job guys a huge thanks Lenovo
